Take A Hike
(shot on top of Mount Baldy above Phoenix Lake) Those familiar with my lifestyle know that I prefer a few things in life, one of which is most important, the great outdoors! Blessed we have been in recent days with the clearing of the skies and the return to sun derived warmth. Its good to be back here. A year ago I was busy riding around Manhattan over black ice.

the new do'
Had a photo shoot last week and got a rad haircut for it from Danielle over at Renaissance Salon. It took 15 minutes to get my hair coiffed into that funky configuration. The oh-so-glamorous life of Kristian. Looking forward to the final results from the shoot.

Kristian Fashion Sensibility
Two weeks ago, as I was walking to the bus stop, I was approached by the San Francisco Chronicle photographer, Mike Kepka. He writes the style column for the Sunday edition of the newspaper.  Struck by my debonair attitude, Kepka took a few shots of me and asked my opinion on style.  “We are surrounded by a sea of ill-fitting suits” was the best quote that I could come up with at...

Stop SOPA and PIPA
(source: Wikipedia) (Source: Google Homepage) The Hansen Report is rarely about politics.  Although, I may voice my feelings over policy from time to time, it is a monumental moment when I feel that I need to shout my opinion. Right now its time to ROAR and RAISE HELL!  Our inalienable rights as citizens in the United States are under attack by twisted lobbyists from the music and movie...

kristian pickles: Winter Rain on the Way →
kristianpickles: Its been a very dry winter here in Sonoma. There was no rain in December and there has been an utter lack of remorse from the rain clouds this January. Temperatures have consistently dropped as night fades over the Valley, but the condensation that we require for growing beautiful, fruitful…

kristianpickles: As posted the other day, I was going to provide a gypsy cab service to the city of San Francisco for New Year’s Eve in a bootstrapping attempt to raise money for Kristian Pickles. The end results were mixed, but positive on the whole. Zipcar mini-van rental = $88 (180 miles free and…

kristianpickles: Bootstrapping a start-up is never as glamorous as one may think.

Tilling and Cover Crops
One of the most important things that you can do in preparation for the coming year’s crop is to till the soil.  Every year you take nutrients out of the earth and give them to your harvest. Its important to use the off-season (in my case the winter) to grow a cover crop and return nitrates to the soil content.  Today the area I plan on seeding next spring was tilled. Brian tilled the...

This is rad. The video I was in about 8 months ago for Duncan Quinn is making the rounds over at HypeBeast. Fast forward towards 1:45 to see me with a giant beard and shaved head. Thanks to Paul Stone at Drop Culture for making it all happen. Follow him @dropculture.

Hackathons: Great Minds at Work
This past weekend was very inspiring. Hackathons show you what entrepreneurship is all about. You go from concept to prototype in the span of 24 hours or less. I am not saying that the hack start-ups are necessarily ready for sale - although this has happened… but what I am saying, is that you do not need money or very much time to create something useful. Of the hundred plus hackers in...

How to Find Druid Heights in Muir Woods
It was recently published in the Marin IJ that some folks are attempting to get Druid Heights registered as a National Historic Site. The property itself already lies within a National Park, but its falling apart. Many of the properties on the five acre parcel are dilapidated. Only a few people still live in the area and this is through a living-easement (no one else is allowed to live there...
